Extremely scarce and hard-to-find! 137 unmarked and uncreased, historical and spiritual pages! Frontis is a woodcut of Kate Field. "Our friendship had always seemed to me one made for heaven rather than for earth; as of a nature adapted to different conditions from those ordinarily prevailing here; and after the first bewildering agony ---- caused by the tidings of her death ---- was over, I began to realize how that subtle and curiously insistent telepathic communion between us seemed to adjust itself anew and became more clear and intense. But, ah, that first flash of bewildering pain! Will even eternity be long enough for its remembrance ever to be dimmed?." ---- from What Lacks the Summer? (Chapter One). First Edition / First Printing. Blue Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
